You're expressing that great American political cognitive dissonance. Everyone says they're itching for change and they're tired of the same old politicians, but when someone comes along and attempts to break those traditions and bring real change, they get laughed at as social deviants. The American electorate can't blame it on Washington anymore. They've been offered change at nearly every corner, but they chose to go with status-quo out of fear and willful ignorance every time. It's been like that since our founding.
